When I will get time to build it up until next week is another question.  But my beloved Rivendell Bleriot (last seen as a smoking heap of somewhat mangled steel after being left-hooked) is now back, with a new (and upgraded) fork and a beautiful paint job!


Repair job by Steve Rex, paint job by his painter.

BEAUTIFUL color – well done.

That's nice, Lynne.  Can't wait to see it in person.

Congratulations - and wow!  Gorgeous paint job.  Enjoy, enjoy.

Question:  what do you mean by "upgraded fork"?

Whoof! Pretty! Were the S&S couplers added with the repair?

Best looking Bleriot out there! Ride in style Lynn.  I'm humming, "Oh Bleriot!"   to Van Morrison's tune...

Before and after: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnefitz/sets/72157632430316656/
The S&S couplers were pre-existing.  I had them installed right after I bought the frame in 2007.
"Upgraded fork" - Riv didn't have a Bleriot fork.  So I have a Saluki/Hillborne fork with mid-fork rack braze-ons.  Buying new front rack. (old front rack for sale soon)

I love the new color.

Fantastic color! Does it have a special name? Is it the same as the Homer blue?

Another one drooling over the bike.  Very nice.  Love the blue and the cream looks creamier than the regular Rivendell version.  Could just be the contrast with the blue, but it works for me.  Glad you have it back.

Looks great!  So, while you look for time to build it out, you have wonderful art for your wall!

And here is the built up bike:
still to do - trim off the rack stays, and bolt the front fender to the front rack.  It will happen.  Eventually.
